• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in

the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.

• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still

working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a

wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if

recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible

due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.

• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.

• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully charged state

or in high temperatures.

• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the

battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.

•

Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.

• The AC plug adapter D-PL135 is designed for exclusive use with the Power

Adapter D-PA135. Do not use it with other devices.

•

Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken

regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.

hands are completely dry.

• The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap to the

camera and wrap it around your wrist when using the camera in or near water.

• To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens is

protected by glass. The glass should be kept clean at all times, as any dirt or

water on the glass will affect the quality of pictures taken.

• Do not use the camera deeper than 14 meters underwater. Do not use the

camera underwater for more than 120 minutes consecutively.

• Do not open the battery cover underwater.

• Do not use the camera in hot water or in a hot spring.

• Do not apply excessive force to the camera, for example diving into water with

it. Doing so may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera or

cause the cover to open.

• Do not leave the camera on the sand at the beach, as this may cause the

camera to exceed the upper limit of its operational temperature range, or cause

the speaker or microphone to become blocked with sand.

• Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as

this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is subjected to

substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest

PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.

• Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause discoloration

of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off immediately with warm

water.

• Sudden and extreme changes in temperature may cause condensation to form

in and on the camera. Keep the camera in a bag or case to reduce the

difference in temperature.

Be Careful Near the Water

Precautions When Using the Camera in the Water

10

• Do not open the battery cover if the camera is wet. Wipe off any water with a

clean lint-free cloth.

• The inside surface of the cover may get wet when it is opened. Wipe off any

water that is on the cover.

• Wiping off the camera while there is sand or dust on it may scratch the surface

of the camera. Make sure that the battery cover is firmly closed before washing

the camera in tap water. After washing the camera, dry it with a soft cloth.

• Wipe off any dirt or sand on the waterproof seal or the contact surface. The

camera’s waterproof performance may be compromised by a loose seal, or

cracks or dents on the seal or the contact surface. If there is any such damage,

contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.

• If the camera becomes very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure

that it is turned off and the battery cover is firmly closed before rinsing it under

running tap water or leaving it in a bowl of clean water for a short time (2 or 3

minutes).

• Avoid cleaning with agents such as soapy water, mild detergents, or alcohol as

this may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera.

• To maintain the waterproof performance of the camera, you are recommended

to change the waterproof seal once a year. Contact your nearest PENTAX

Service Center regarding changing the seal. (A charge will be made.)

• The camera’s accessories are not waterproof.
